The Daily Joke Thread

Leap Year 2021

I've lived in the present for my whole life and I'm not about to move now.

Vaccine Guidance

I can't wait until I'm fully vaccinated and can safely send chat messages in all caps again.

Huh?

It's a very simple joke.

You either get it or you don't.

I don't see the point in posting something like "Huh?" every time you cannot understand a very simple joke.

Oh, so that was it? I thought maybe the punchline got cut off at the end or something.

K, guess I just don’t get it.

(No mneme or current-events reference or anything that I’m missing?)

Nope.

Sorry I got angry.

(I thought you were messing with me, and I didn't understand why.)

Huh? Naw, was just curious if it got cut off or if there was something “topical” about it.

Like if Cuomo invited one of his aides to “The Park” <nudge nudge wink wink> or something.

Most of those monkey ones, yeah, I admit it, I just don’t get ’em.

Even goggled it, only thing of interest was “Cage of death - Review of Crocosaurus Cove, Darwin, Australia”(!!), but figured it’s unrelated to that.

well, we love the jokes that do not make much “sense”…
sort of like the Surreal Jokes which were popular
during the Last Millennium.

example:
How many surrealist painters does it take to change a lightbulb?
Fish.

I heard it was ghoti.

that`s really specific joke...not funny without context

another stupid joke. really popular in Russia.

" Bear walks through a forest. Sees a burning car. Sits inside it and burns down"

there is bunch of memes about it....

What context do you think is required to understand the joke that I posted today?

I would argue that it is a very simple joke that you either get or else you don't, and that no context is needed to understand it.

Ha! I get it!

Today’s April 3rd, 2021, so 4-3-21.

Now that makes sense!

I guess that was Smokey The Bear.

well. i`ve red it couple of time.. the basic idea is obvious. but that`s not that funny. at least for me.

just remembered old joke (we call these ones "long-bearded"

guy sits in prison, new cell-mate comes it. they talk , guy asks new cell mate - "what are you sentenced for?

"i opened window at work..."

"? where did you work?

" in submarine"

I gotta confess, though, I never “got” Jewish humor.

A lot of it was puns and plays on words, usually Jewish/Hebrew/Yidddish/whatever words, that zinged right over my head.

Eg, you’d get a 20min shaggy-dog story, with the punchline(?) something like, “…it saved the nine, because it was a schtitzen dayim!”, and I’d be all like, “huh?”.

Whaddya mean, ’huh?’, don’t you get it?

’Schtitzen dayim’, ’stitch in time’, get it? No??

You’re stoopit…

And dunno if anyone remembers the Jackie Mason Show, a 30min show we used to have on, late late late nights. opened with a caricature of him, and the show would be JM doing stand-up comedy.

It was okay, until it got too “ethnic”, and then I’d be lost.

Like,

Knock-knock.

[Who’s there?]

Yommika!

and the whole audience rolls on the floor laffing.

So I’d tell the same joke to a cow-orker, and get this look, like, wtf?

And I’d tell him that I just heard it yesterday on the JMS, and everyone was rolling on the floor laffing, so what’s the matter with you?

Oh, yesterday… okay, then it made sense.

Whut??

Well, yesterday was the feast of Tovah Feldshuh, when Moses went up on Mount Cyanide and God told him to wear a yommika from then on, as a reminder of XYZ…

Sooooo… it was funny yesterday but it’s not funny today?

Exactly! Yesterday it made sense, but today it doesn’t.

Okay, I’m so confused…

I think I prefer the shaggy-dog stories.

LMAO, just kidding, it was ok.

What religion are bears?

A priest, a minister, and a rabbi want to see who’s best at his job. So they each go into the woods, find a bear, and attempt to convert it. Later they get together. The priest begins: “When I found the bear, I read to him from the Catechism and sprinkled him with holy water. Next week is his First Communion.”

“I found a bear by the stream,” says the minister, “and preached God’s holy word. The bear was so mesmerized that he let me baptize him.”

They both look down at the rabbi, who is lying on a gurney in a body cast. “Looking back,” he says, “maybe I shouldn’t have started with the circumcision.”
